Chapter 373: A Novel
There is a saying in China that you should leave three points of leeway in everything, which means that you should not be killed in order to leave a way back for yourself.
But there is also a saying, which is called killing everything and leaving no future troubles.
Therefore, the philosophy of the Chinese people is very interesting, often two opposing views, but they can also justify themselves.
However, how these two sentences should be learned and put into practice, those can only be in one mind.
But as far as Guo Dalu's character is concerned, what he likes the most is the battle that he devotes himself to, and he is merciless to the enemy, they are all your enemies, so naturally there is no need to open the net.
Du Bin, Guo Dalu didn't have any prejudices against him, but he attacked Guo Dalu again and again, and attacked Guo Dalu at every opportunity, as if he had a blood feud with Guo Dalu, which was annoying.
Now Guo Dalu saw that he was even boasting about himself, and he was ashamed to say that the films he had made in the past were better than the current "Roman Holiday", and he was suddenly shocked by this buddy's cheekiness, Nima, even dare to say this?
Throughout the history of otherworldly films, among the literary romance films, among the thousands of works in the past hundred years, there will never be a single film that can surpass "Roman Holiday".
Du Bin is at best an aspiring literary film director, and he is also filming the dark side of China to please foreigners, he is an opportunistic person, and his directing ability is average, that is, a level of documentary, he now says that his film is even better than "Roman Holiday", in Guo Dalu's opinion, this guy is simply a joke.
This person has been a director for many years, and he hasn't made anything decent at all, but he is pretentious, intoxicated by the ethereal imagination all day long, feeling that everything is his own good, and looking at others is not pleasing to the eye, even if he runs into walls everywhere, he still feels great.
In the Chinese film and television industry, there has been such a mainstream view over the years: if you want your film to win awards, you should shoot more about the dark side of your country, and use what happens in this shadow to expose the darkness of the Chinese government and the inferiority of the Chinese people. After such a movie is made, as long as it is not made very badly, it can often win awards abroad, and some can even win heavy awards.
Until now, 60 percent or 70 percent of Westerners still think that today's China is still in an extremely backward situation, and many Western media are vilifying the image of Chinese, and even slandering and demonizing China as a country.
Someone has done street interviews in the West, and many foreigners don't even know that China has a history of thousands of years, and they can't even name a Chinese city, and they don't know anything about China's population, economy, living habits, etc.
As far as propaganda and education are concerned, China is much more enlightened than Western countries, but because of the difference in propaganda and education, some things that Chinese people are accustomed to are extremely strange in the eyes of the people of Western countries.
For example, in China, anyone can tell the capitals of famous Western countries, representative cities, and the relevant histories of these countries, but in the West, few people have a detailed understanding of China, and they don't even know where the capital of Xia is.
Many foreigners know what they are.
They know that the Chinese eat everything, eat cats, eat dogs, eat long worms, eat mice, eat toads, eat bugs, and there is almost nothing in heaven that Chinese can't. Moreover, the Chinese also eat herbs, that is, soups made from grass root bark, while in Western culture, only wizards will use grass root bark bugs and other strange things to boil medicine, so many Chinese images are demonized by them.
In addition, some Chinese people really don't pay much attention to their personal image when they go abroad, spitting, throwing garbage, and taking off their shoes to dry their feet on the plane, these actions have indeed lowered the image of Chinese people.
Moreover, many of the Western media's reports on China are distorted and deliberately scandalized, with little mention of good things and deliberately exaggerated negative news. And the reporting of such negative news can even affect the judgment of Chinese people on their own country, which is an extremely sad thing.
The entertainment industry is the first area to be infiltrated by Western culture, and many practitioners now think of Westernized thinking, and even the values are the values of Westerners, and they are also the kind of deformed values that discriminate against themselves and look down on their own countries.
Just like Du Bin, although he has culture and education, but he is dominated by Western culture ideologically, so he likes to find the dark side of his country the most, and is proud to expose the wounds of the country in the world, in order to please foreign film critics, he spares no effort to blacken his country, and then he is favored by Western film festivals, so he can get trophies and medals, and after returning to China, he will become a famous director.
What Guo Dalu looks down on the most is this kind of thing, licking chrysanthemums to foreigners in order to smear the image of Chinese, this kind of person who doesn't even take his own country seriously, is simply a piece of.
He didn't know much about Du Bin, he knew from the beginning that he was a director who was engaged in literary films, and he had been banned by radio and television for a few years.
This kind of person who admires foreign cultures and grovels psychologically is still complacent and thinks that he is great, and he has really taken self-deception to the extreme.
Now seeing that Du Bin is still so arrogant, Guo Dalu has nothing to say, and is ready to knock him to death with a stick.
As soon as Du Bin's Weibo was released, it attracted unanimous ridicule from the majority of netizens.
"Damn, I've seen shameless, I've never seen such shameless! I'm embarrassed to compare my own work with Guo Ye's work? Du someone takes himself too seriously!"
"Hahaha, laughing to death, Director Du, you are so bragging, aren't you afraid of blowing up the cow?"
"People are shameless, the world is invincible!"
"Some time ago, the box office of my movie was only a few hundred thousand, and it is said that the pants were lost, and now you still have the face to argue with Guo Ye, who gave you such confidence?"
"It is estimated that when Guo Ye sees this reply, everyone will laugh!"
"Guo Ye said that he was confused!"
"Hey, Guo Ye spoke, saying that Du Bin is a spiritual victory method. Speaking of the true image, this surnamed Du is indeed playing the spiritual victory method, although I am not as good as you in reality, but I have already defeated you in spirit!"
"Hahaha, self-deception, there is no more director than Du Bin and Du Da!"
Just when these netizens were having a big discussion, there was movement on Guo Dalu's Weibo again: "I've been wanting to write something recently, because I made a bet with Qin Warriors a few days ago, I said that I wanted to write a work that would be passed down to the world, but he didn't believe that I could write it." I've been worried recently, which work to write in order to be able to 'inherit the classics' four words, now I see Director Du's words and deeds, and finally gave me great inspiration, and now I have made a small article roughly, posted on my forum, if you are interested, you may wish to take a look, by the way help find a problem, find faults, especially Director Du and Old Man Qin, and ask the two of you to give a lot of advice. ”
All netizens were surprised and clicked on the link to see what kind of article Guo Dalu wrote.
After opening the link, I directly entered Guo Dalu's forum, and then I saw the article that was pinned, called "The True Story of Ah Q".
